A Weak Passerby | BL, EDITED MTL

Chapter 50: Search, search, search! Stock up!

Huiqi City is a large city by the sea. Compared with Linshui City where Liu Qingzhi was when he first came here, Huiqi City is much better than Linshui City in terms of both area and various resources.

Even though more than two years have passed since the outbreak of the apocalypse, there are still many small places in Huiqi City that have not been searched.

However, most of these small places are located in some corners and it takes some time to find them. Before that, Liu Qingzhi planned to go to the nearby big shopping mall to search for daily necessities.

The area nearby seemed to be divided into different territories by the church, just as he had told Zhao Jiayan.

They didn't see any other survivors along the way.

Or maybe there are survivors living nearby, but out of caution, they are hiding in the dark and not revealing their whereabouts.

The transformed jellyfish house is actually no different from when it was a mutant, simply looking from the outside.

Even if an awakened person has keen observation skills, if he doesn't look carefully, he will not know that there are actually people living inside this jellyfish-like mutant.

Not to mention, most survivors' first reaction after seeing this jellyfish-like mutant was to stay away from it.

So for various reasons, Liu Qingzhi and the other two arrived at the largest shopping mall in the area without any obstruction.

The mall has a total of eight floors, three underground and five above ground, in addition to a garden on the top floor.

The first of the three underground floors is a supermarket.

As soon as the Jellyfish House stopped at the gate of the shopping mall, Zhao Jiayan could no longer hold back and slid down from it along its tentacles. His destination was the supermarket on the underground floor.

Two years ago, along with frequent earthquakes and tsunamis, unknown acid rain and viruses swept the world, and densely populated areas such as hospitals and schools became the hardest hit areas.

In the past, mutants could only come out at night, and most survivors could survive safely in most cases by simply closing the doors and windows at night and staying quietly in a sealed, enclosed space.

However, since more and more mutants have evolved into zombies that are not restricted by the day and night cycle or the environment, the risks for survivors when searching for supplies during the day have increased exponentially. This has led to a rapid increase in the number of infections as the zombie virus is extremely contagious.

Not to mention hospitals and schools, even large shopping malls like this one are full of wandering zombies at a glance.

These zombies walked extremely slowly, and their eyes were unusually empty, as if they were using this aimless walking to put their bodies into a low-function resting state.

Most of their bodies were dark gray and emitted a disgusting stench. Some bones and internal organs, even several broken intestines, were exposed.

The sudden arrival of Liu Qingzhi and the other two was like a drop of cold water falling into seemingly calm hot oil, which instantly burst into boiling water.

The zombies that were originally wandering slowly on the underground floor and the first and second floors above ground suddenly pounced on Liu Qingzhi and the other two based on their instinctive intuition, like hyenas that were suddenly awakened from their rest.

Zhao Jiayan has fire-related abilities, but it is not convenient to use them in this kind of place. Burning zombies will make too much noise and produce a lot of smoke and dust.
